The most underrated
I find that people who destroy this perfume are not honest. This is surely the best leathery scent on the market. I think this perfume suffered from a bad advertising campaign. Put any other name on the bottle, and you will have a masterpiece. This is what Ombre Leather by Tom Ford should have felt.

In The Wrong Setting, A Prestigious Painting
Although the Philipp Plein character is strongly polarizing, and the packaging is tacky, you can't please everyone. But I think that the work of the perfumer should not be confused with that of the designer brand. We should not judge a painting based on its setting. For all this, I believe that they have unjustly judged the perfume, leaving out the beauty of the fragrance and the mastery of the perfumer. I think this is a leather fragrance that you need to know about! Having been unjustly slaughtered, it smells of freshly baked, peppery and spicy bread, and smoky, soft, slightly dusty leather. Great job Alberto Morillas.

A fillet with green pepper according to a French recipe. No Limit$ greets me with a massive pungent blast of spiced berries. It is an aromatic and herbaceous green pepper, like the one used to make the creamy sauce in which to cook a tenderloin medallion. It doesn’t matter if the top notes tell us of sour citrus peel and spicy tuber pulp, both immersed in an aqueous fluid flavoured with star anise seeds. I mostly take notes on unripe peppercorns. Ginger and bergamot are muted, of course. For a moment, I get a velvety, powdery and sour undertone, but pepper is dominant. Other hot spices take part in this blend, albeit very well-dosed, as clove is not like a dentist’s cure and cinnamon is not reminiscent of apple pie or rice pudding. In other words, No Limit$ opens spicy. Spices are very present, strong but not unpleasant, but this is only one aspect, as it is a multifaceted colony.

A few minutes later, the scent turns sweet but not too sweet, slightly gourmand with powdery undertones. I feel a light dusty and bitter note of dark chocolate, which takes the stage and moves the spices to the background, clear but not dominant as in Valentino Uomo (2014) Eau de Toilette. This gourmand accord blends with the sweet, amber, and powdery notes of vanilla that intertwine with the smoky accords of incense. The result is a cuddle, something comfortable and warm. In the end, the powerful, spicy slap became a tender and candid caress.

No Limit$ finishes are woody, leathery, and semi-sweet. Having reached this final phase, I can appreciate the animalistic shades of modern leather more than the more delicate suede. With a pinch of earthy but clean and fragrant patchouli and a perfume of oud wood, it does not shift toward an animalistic or medicinal composition typical of the Far East but expresses the mysterious and elegant touch of this precious wood. In the end, therefore, No Limit$ gives us sweet, slightly powdery, and leathery nuances, which make it sexy.

My last words are that No Limit$ isn't that crappy, it's definitely not what haters are portraying or claiming. Sure, it’s not really for everyone, and it’s not attractive to the masses, but it's not that terrible. For sure, it deserves to be tested as I find it unique, unlike any other perfume out there. According to reviews, this perfume resembles Guilty Absolute pour Homme, which I like, but if I compare the two side by side, I feel two completely different scents. The comparison is fun, but that’s just my opinion as fragrances are subjective. The opening might be misleading, but overall I find it closer to Reveal Men Eau de Toilette rather than Guilty Absolute pour Homme. Apart from that, No Limit$ is to be included in the rotation of autumn and perhaps winter scents. It pairs well on cold and humid days, even better if worn in the evening. Despite the initial spiciness, the scent is not offensive; it has a contained projection, but it lasts a long time on the skin and clothes. I wore it today, and the juice came as a surprise to me due to all this hate.

I base the review on a bottle I have owned since October 2022.

Very underrated! You should try as a girl killer
Dark chocolate perfectly mixed with leather, oud and spices. Spices are dominating because these are in the heart notes, but the secret is the dark chocolate and vanilla well used for the sweet part and mixed ti the woody one.
Ladies know the difference!
You should try this one, It is a lot underrated, and a lot of people love it. Just give attention of all the notes if you are allergic due this scent Is a compound of a lot of things.
As a personal opinion i will suggest to everyone not only young people, and this is now my first choice as a niche parfume.

Dark mysterious chocolate kiss~~
It's been a long night. You had a couple drinks, and your memeory is hazy, but somehow you ended up here. And you're with this smoking hot person???
A big, luxurious living room. You're laying on a couch, black leather. It's dark outside, the lights are dim. The fireplace gives off a bit of warmth, but you're sweating anyway. You can only really focus on them. They're wearing leather and you can feel it. You're so close to them.. you can only focus on their deep, dark smoky eyes. What's happening here??
You lose focus for a split second, and suddenly they're right in front of you, with a piece of dark chocolate between their lips. And they get closer.. and closer.. and closer.. and-
~~~

I think you probably can tell that I like this perfume~~

I blind bought this and man I'm so glad that I did!
It's sooo leathery; At first, you get hit with this intense leatheriness, you get the hints of various spices and then BOOM! There's the dark chocolate. It's so so delicious.

This one's a hidden gem, and I don't get the fairly low rating. Alberto Morillas really put magic in a bottle here!
It's not expensive, it smells great AND it has a incredible performance!
Alright siliage and INCREDIBLE LONGEVITY: ~9 hours? no problem! After that it very slowly fades~

Please try this one if you have the chance.

P.S.: The bottle looks awful imo, but diffuser is good but the design hurts my eyes. Also it's a shame that you can't see how much is left inside.

No surprises
I am really annoyed at the fact that I had been duped again by social media influencers. I had been so faithful to my decision not to be swayed equally positively or negatively by their words and or reviews.

And this got the better of me. I was pulled in by the subscription service that I use after I had gone through everything that I wanted. I am now on stuff that I am just mildly curious about. I have to admit that when I used to watch YouTube influencers this fragrance invariably cropped up from time to time and it would get some praise and mild hype.

So I ordered it. and I have to say. I'm not disappointed but at the same time I am not swept away. I am more disappointed that it slightly lives up to the hype. I mean its not bad, its a good fragrance. I would wear it but never buy this at all. I couldn't live with myself to even be seen in private with it.

It’s like being caught with a copy of Playboy magazine; that has a really great interview with that athlete/musician/actor that you have some passing interest in. Sure there’s worse things you could get caught looking at, but it’s not the worse thing, it’s almost more embarrassing trying to hide it and actually being caught with such an analogue item of smut.

This scent is pretty decent, I mean it should be the Nose behind it has had plenty of practice. And though not his best work we’re treated to what is possibly akin to Picasso doodle on a napkin. I’m not admitting that Morillas is close to Picasso.

Woody, leathery and mild spices. A tang of sweetness somewhere in the background. Sorry but that’s all I can offer you by way of notes. It’s one you have to try on skin on a test strip it’s underwhelming and does nothing.

This is such a hard fragrance to dislike, though there’s not much about it that I could love. It’s really quite good, it sits very firmly in that camp. I am disappointed it doesn’t really match the hype.

You can knock Plein all you want (deservedly), but you can't deny Morillas! A legit, 8h+ leather frag. Horrid bottle, but GREAT atomizer!

Opens with a nice harsh leather. Becomes sickly sweet. Whoever wears this is definitely making a statement.

Great spicy leather. A bad boy, masculine scent on the line of Dark Lord, for a fraction of the price. Best sprayer I've seen.
